Joyful Mysteries
Second Mystery: The Visitation
“She called out with a loud voice and said, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!”Luke 1:42
Mary hastens into the hill country to serve her kinswoman Elizabeth. At Mary’s greeting the infant John leaps for joy in Elizabeth’s womb, and Mary sings her song of praise, the Magnificat.
Fruit of the mystery: Love of neighbor
The Our Father
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name; your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
